Research and innovation are the pillars of quality education. The National Education Policy 2020 states that quality education builds on quality research in the institutes of higher education. Only a dynamic education setup encompassing active teaching, extensive learning, research, innovation and technology development can answer the social challenges to realise the dream of a self-reliant India. The research potential of Universities and HEIs play a vital role in imparting quality education.
The Research and Development Cell of the Zeal Institute of Management and Application facilitates and encourages the research culture among the teachers and the students. The establishment of the University R&D Cell is to develop and strengthen the research environment in the departments and to align it with the educational policies of India. The R& D Cell would provide a favorable environment for productive research, Industrial and Institutional collaborations and mobilise the resources and grants. College follows the research mandate by various National Missions SDGs, and Start-up India leading to a Self-Reliant India (Atma-Nirbhar Bharat).
To put in place a robust mechanism for developing and strengthening the research ecosystem within college, aligned with the provision of NEP-2020.
